For regular dark wheat beer and stout brewing, this 2kg bag of Roast Wheat keeps plenty of its dry, coffee-like roast on hand.

What it does

Roast wheat is unmalted wheat roasted dark. It adds deep colour and a dry, coffee-like roast with a slightly sharper, grainier edge than chocolate malt, bringing wheat-roast character to dark beers without heaviness. The larger bag is the one to choose for repeat or bigger brews.
